Design Fashion Africa is an ecosystem that empowers existing and upcoming designers, helping them to commercialize, publicize and develop their talents through a series of initiatives that grants them the spotlight and tools to thrive in their fashion and design business.
Last year, Design Fashion Africa moved the industry with its highly successful, world class fashion maiden event in October, at the Eko Hotel and Suites.
As we try to get acquainted with the new normal in our society, Design Fashion Africa has launched the #DressUpStayAlive campaign, urging the public to dress up safely as they engage in public appearances in order to contain the spread of the virus. The DFA is also concurrently running a series of virtual conversations, that is meant to educate and grant viewers new ideas and strategies to implement in their fashion businesses.
The second edition of the DFA fashion event is set to take place in the third quarter of 2020 and is set to completely revolutionize the scope for fashion initiatives and intervention locally.
DFA brings you an initiative that embraces the freedom of fashion and design through the application of design and aesthetics when creating wearable outfits, shoes, bags, accessories and jewelry. Our aim is to nurture the designers that create out of the box ideas, which celebrates the continent, its heritage and fashion.
